After a few days of heavy rain, both the keyless go function stopped working and the android head unit. I remove the run flat wheel in the boot to be greeted with a pool of water. It has drained away, since I removed the grommet but the water affected both the keyless and bluetooth modules --...

I was disappointed to call WiM this week hoping to book an alignment for a new to me W251 R500L. Not only did the guy on the phone seem absolutely clueless about setting up MB but he said that Joe doesn’t work there. It’s a really shame, as Joe really understood Merc set up. Does anyone know...

As posted above, in velour located in SW20

My SiL has informed us this morning that there are 'signs' being put up across fuel stations in SW London warning of shortages. Apparently the local Tesco is has nearly depleted its stock of both diesel and unleaded. Is this a localised occurrence or are you experiencing the same? I had heard...

Hi guys, I'm after a cleaner to attack vehicle cloth/upholstery and there seem to be two options: Bissell SpotClean and VAX Spotwash Spotcleaner Have you guys experience and opinions on these?

Recently I opened and started my S211 E500 after about ten days unused. As we are experiencing a cold snap in January, the screen was misted (a little unusual for this car) but it took forever to demist. There was globules of water vapour resting on the inner windscreen. Someone on the MB...

A friend is looking to purchase one, so this resource would be welcome, if anyone can point me in the right direction? Also, any commentary on ownership experience, he is after a diesel for frugality, but a later one with ULEZ exemption.

I couldn't believe it, a bona fide Brabus that I spotted on my commute home.

I have been experiencing an issue with my bootlid for a while and it’s irking me. A little while back whilst in for the rear airbags, I asked them to also (titivation incoming) replace the noisy motor for the retractable boot skirt. I had stressed it a few years ago whilst trying to be OCD...

I have a 2003 COMAND (whichever that is) and as of today, my GPS insisted that I was in a location about five miles from my actual location. Any ideas what has gone wrong here?

I'm thinking that one of these might be suitable for our requirements - a number seem to be available as Japanese imports. Seymour Pope had an X-Clusive which only has six seats (I'd require at least seven) but is, I think the top of the range. From what I can ascertain, Ambiente is the top...

For the R171. To collect (when able) or to deliver to KT2 5. Must be in good condition. Thanks.

I've been looking at a website which indicates the theoretical top speed of my car and it seems as though it could hit 168mph, when eventually we are allowed back to Germany. My car hits an indicated 160mph/258kmh at 4,650rpm, with the red line at 6,000rpm, so there is capacity. Any ideas...

On occasion, the powered bootlid for my 2003 estate re-opens after having pressed the red 'close' button. It closes to about 20% and then raises. We are replacing the gas struts, which are knackered; they (the indy) mentioned that there is a potentiometer too, though it is unclear if this...

I have a leaking osr shock and the indy has told me that: - a leak can't be traced i.e. to a hose, as it's essentially a sealed black box - it differs from the standard S211 system as it has a nitrogen reservoir - the rear subframe needs to be dropped for a replacement - therefore we may...

I recently had a four wheel alignment on a hunter system. The owner/operator knows my car and has been adjusting the alignment for the last few years, sometimes getting i'm aligned first time and at others, taking two or three attempts, with the common issues being pulling to the left or the...

It was working fine - and then not closing when the big red button is pressed. Could this be just as simple as a fuse, or something more complex?

Asking for a friend, this message came up after resetting the service counter The question is - how to clear this message?

What is the purpose of an auxiliary battery?

I I may give Sandown Guildford a try, hopefully they'll replace the seals too, which are looking a little tired.
